*Graceville hospital..
I sat down quitely watching the nurse rush in and out of the emergency Ward.. aunty Nora stood up and paced around for the tenth time.. my face was already sticky with tears and my eyes were swollen⊠Her phone started ringing, she looked at the caller ID and picked up, âhello, good morning sir, I am so sorry sir but my sister is ill.. and I am in the hospital.. yes sir, thank youâ she said and dropped the phone.. she took a deep breath and sat next to me.. âAmelia, you must be hungry and tired , go home and eat somethingâ,I couldnât help but Wonder if the wh0le situation had affected her brain.. âno.. I am not hungry..âI replied, although my stomach was hurting badly, but thereâs no way Iâm going to leave without seeing my mom.. âsheâs going to be fine, right?â She asked, I didnât know what to say, this was a really weird way to start talking normally with my aunt.. just then the doctor walked out of the room with a note pad.. we stood up and hurriedly walked towards him.. âwho amongst you is her family?â He asked.. âwe both areâaunt Nora replied, âok, please come with me to my officeâ he said..
*Doctorâs officeâ..
âSo how is she doctor?â Aunty Nora trailed off.. âwell.. sheâs not goodâhe replied, âwhy? Whatâs wrong with her?â,she asked.. he took a deep breath and placed his hands on the table.. âshe has br-ast cancer,.. and it has eaten deeply Into her systemâhe stated.. at that moment, I could hear the sound of my heart beat, it was as if a bomb exploded in,side of me, âoh my Godâaunt Nora said, âwha.. whatt can be done?âI stuttered.. âat this stage, it is very risky to Carry out an operation, because the cancer has spread widely, if we must operate on her, then I canât assure you that she will make itâhe replied, âokay.. can we see her now?â.. I asked wiping the tears from eyes.. âyes, you canâhe replied..
*Natashaâs ward..
I walked into the room and gently closed the door.. mom was laying on the bed with her eyes closed, I sat down and held her hand, she looked very sick and ill, she opened her eyes and smiled weakly, âmy princessâ.. she said weakly, I looked at her and tears trickled down my face, âdonât cry honey, beautiful ladies donât cryâ she said and tried to clean the tears, but she couldnât even lift her hand to my face, I broke down completely, âmom, why didnât you tell us?â.. I asked, âI am sorry my love, mommy is so sorry, please donât cry Amelia.. it will be over before you know itâ, she said as tears fell from her eyes.. I hugged her and cried more..
#Eleanor..
I was brushing my hair when Micheal walked in.. âgoing out?â He asked âyeah.. I have to go to the fashion house.. there are some things I need to doâ âhmm, okayâ.. âwe need to talk though,â I said â about?â.. â MildredâI stated.. âMildred, what did she do this time?â he asked as he unbuttoned his shirt, I dropped the brush and faced him, âshe is a spoilt brat!..
can you Imagine, she punished my workers and poured hot chili on their faces, anyways thatâs not the main reason I want to talk about her, I just wanted to know Micheal, why Mildred?âI asked, âI donât think I understand you, Eleanorâ.. he replied, âI mean, why give our properties to Mildred, I mean havenât I done enough in making her the number one top model in my fashion house?..why the hell should we sign our properties to her, and engage her to SkylerâI asked.. âbecause, Skyler is the heir to the Jordans empire, Amelia was supposed to be our heir, but because sheâs no more with us, I decided to adopt Mildred and make her our New heir, so our companies can be mergedâ he replied, âis that the only reason?.. Micheal why do I feel like your brother was the one who gave you this stupid idea?.. for goodness sake, there are lots of other ways to merge our companies, we donât have to sign our properties to Mildred,..and even if we want to, why sign it now.. I mean who knows, I might get pregnant, and give birth to a child, which property are we then going to give to the child? Is it the one you want to sign to .Mildred?â I asked.. âthe doctor said itâs impossible for you to conceive Eleanorâhe said and walked slowly towards me, I held his hands and we sat down on the bed.. âI know Micheal.. but I know and I am very sure that doctor Williams was wrong.. please letâs just give it a try, if it doesnât work.. I will sign all my properties to Mildredâ.. he looked at me for a second.. and slowly placed his l-ips on mine, and I responded..
#Jonas..
âAre you saying Eleanor raised her hands on you? And told you to handwash the maids clothes?â Susan asked Mildred who was sitting on the couch frowning.. âyes mom, she also asked me to apologise to themâshe added, âwhat! Because of mere maids?, I am going to deal with Eleanor.. Jonas wonât you say anything?âshe asked.. âwe will pay her a surprise visit tonight, we are going to teach her a lesson, sheâll never forgetâI replied.. âand how are we going to do that, dad?âMildred asked.. âoh.. itâs a surprise honey, just relax and watch how your father deals with that crazy bitchâ..I replied with an evil smirk.. I am going to enjoy humiliating Eleanor..

#Mildred..
What does he mean by that?.. is he going to hurt aunt Eleanor?. I asked myself, I still donât know why dad hates her so much..
I used to like her though, she was like a second mother to me, she was my role model, she taught me everything thereâs to know about modelling, and with her help and connections, I am one of the best models in the country.. I am only angry with her for the slap and humiliation, although that was the first time she raised her hand on me.. and I wanted her to apologise for it, just then my phone started ringing.. I looked at the caller Id âaunt Eleanor?â..I muttered, but I guess my parents heard because they instantly kept quiet.. I slowly placed the phone on my ear, âhello.. good afternoon aunt, no, I am not busy.. uhm, okay Iâll be there in 5, yeahâ..
I replied and dropped the call, âso .. what did she say?âmom asked impatiently, âuhm, she wants to see meâ I replied and stood up, âwell I guess she wants to apologise, that means there will be no need for our surprise visit thenâ dad stated..âI guess, Iâll see you guys some other time, I might stay over in her houseâ I said picking up my bag.. âyour house.. itâs gonna be yours soonâmom said stressing the âyourâ.. âuhh.. Iâm not sure about thatâ I replied and started walking to the door..âwhat did you say?âdad asked already getting angry..
ânothingâ I replied and walked out of the house.. the guards were standing outside.. they started walking to the car when they saw me.. one opened the door for me and the others entered the other car, âwere are we going maâam?â Elliot, my driver asked.. âthe AndersonâsâI replied, âokayâ he started the car and drove out of the compound.. I sat down quietly looking outside the window.. I am not interested in becoming an heir to my uncleâs properties, I was never interested in it,.. but dad threatened to deal with me if I didnât accept it.. and now Iâm left with no option.. I know I said I hate aunty Eleanor and that I would make her life miserable when I get the properties, but I didnât mean any of it, I was just angry then..
*Andersonâs mansion*..
I walked into the house and entered the kitchen, the maids were all busy with one thing or the other, madam Clara smiled when she saw me, âMildred, child how have you been?â She said coming closer to me, âI am fine madam Clara, I didnât see you the last time I cameâI replied and hugged her, âI know, I went to visit my daughterâshe replied, âoh.. okay, so whereâs aunt?âI asked, âsheâs upstairs in the living roomâshe replied, âokay, Iâll see you later.. oh and please can I get a glass of juice?â I asked, âyes, sure..
Naomi will bring it upstairsâshe said.. âokay, thanksâ I said and walked out.. I walked upstairs and entered the living room.. it was a big hall, with different expensive furnitures and a big flat screened TV.. aunt Eleanor was sitting comfortably on one of the chairs, she was so engrossed in the movie, that she didnât notice my presence, I sat down and cleared my throat, she turned and smiled when she saw me.. she turned off the TV and dropped the remote control..
âMildred, I am so happy you made itâshe said, âcome sitâshe said tapping the sit next to her I stood up and sat with her.. she held my hands and turned to face me, âMildred,I know you must think I hate you..âshe started.âbut I donât, I love you like my own child, I know you must be angry because I slapped you and asked you to apologise to the maids, but Mildred, I did that to correct youâŠyou were wrong for pouring hot chili on their faces and clothes, they are humans just like you and me, they are poor doesnât mean you should treat them like animals.. how did you feel when I slapped you?.. angry and sad right?, But still you couldnât do anything to me, thatâs exactly how those girls must have felt, Mildred they are workers and not slaves, you canât command respect Mildred you earn it.. I am not just talking about the maids, I am also talking about outsiders as well..the ones you call âtrashâ.. do you know what that chili did to their faces?â She asked, just then , Naomi walks in with a glass of juice.. her face was terribly burnt..
I canât believe I did this, she gently placed the tray on the side table and walked out.. âdid you see her face?, thatâs was a result of your action.. the both of them will be going to the hospital today, to get those things out, I just pray it clears out of their faces, you are wise Mildred, and I am sure you know what to doâ⊠She said and walked out.., I took deep breath and walked down stairs.. I stood in front of the maids room and knocked, the door opened and I saw Naomi sitting on her bed, I walked in and they all stood up and bowed gently, although they were all older than me..they were five in numbers.. Naomi and the other girl, with three others, âuhm.. I, I am so sorry for what I did the other day, I am sorry for pouring chili on your faces, I hope you find it in your heart to forgive meâ.. they all had surprised faces, this was the first time I have ever apologise to someone..âitâs okay we forgive youâ she said with a smileâokay thanksâ I replied and walked outâŠ
*Graceville hospital*
#Amelia..
Two weeks later..
I walked into the hospital and headed straight to my momâs ward.. aunt Nora called and said mom wanted to see me, I walked into her room and saw aunt Nora talking with her quietly, I closed the door and moved closer to her, âokay Iâll leave you both to talk, Iâll be outsideâ aunt Nora said and walked out.. I sat on the bed and k-ssed her cheek, she was getting worse, she slowly held my hands and tears fell off her eyes, âmom.. donât cry pleaseâ I whispered I felt a tear fall from my eye..âdarling,.. thereâs something you need to know..â she said slowly, âyou can tell me later mom, you need to rest now..â I said.. âno.. I have to tell you now..â she took a deep breath and continued âI..I .I am not your biological motherâ she stated.. I felt my heart drop at that moment.. âwh.. wha.. what?â I whispered, âI .. I know, itâs a lot to take in sweetheart, but itâs trueâ..she told me how she found me at her door step and everything.. I couldnât take it all in, I still couldnât digest it into my system, my body felt too heavy for me.. and I was starting to feel dizzyâŠ
The woman I thought was my mother, the woman I have loved so dearly for all this years wasnât my biological mother, now I understand why aunty Nora hates me, and why she always called me a burden.. it all makes sense now.. my heart was beating so fast.. I could feel the tears fall freely from my eyes⊠Just then mom starts breathing heavily.. âmom⊠Mom, mom.. whatâs wrong?â.. I asked, âdoctor , doctor!âI shouted.. aunty Nora came running in with the doctor behind her.. âNatty, you canât leave me, please donât leave me, stay with me pleaseâaunty Nora said crying.. mom took in her last breath and her head fell back slowly on the pillow.. the doctor turned to face aunt Nora.. âI am sorry, sheâs deadâ.. he said.. I could feel my wh0le system Break down.. âno..no!!, No Natty.., please wake.. ahhh! Ahhhh!âaunty Nora started shouting with her hands on her left chest.. I ran to where she fell, the doctor came backâsheâs having a heart attack, get the strecher quicklyâhe yelled..
I was so confused, on one hand is my mom and on the other was my aunt, I couldnât stop the tears from falling.. i placed her head on my thighs, crying had become difficult for me.. I watched the doctor as he tried his best, and I could feel her last breath on my hands.. he slowly stood up and turned to the nurses.. â, please take them to the morgueâ he said and walked out.. Everything became blur, I couldnât feel or see anything and I faintedâŠ
******************
I opened my eyes.. and realized that I was still in the hospital, I slowly sat up and the doctor walked in⊠âHiâ he said..âhiâI replied, âare you okay?â He asked âyes, I am fineâ I replied.. âso.. they are⊠Dead?âI asked, âyes.. I am so sorryâhe said.. âitâs okay.. I want to go homeâI said and stood up..âdo you have any other person at homeâhe asked . âUhm.. yeahâI replied and walked outâŠ
*Two days laterâŠ
They have been buried and I live alone now.. I wake up with tears every morning and cry my self to sleep.. I havenât eaten or taken my bath for the past two days.. I stood up from the bed and opened my window.. I take my bath and wear my black trousers and black shirt..
I walked down and picked an apple⊠After eating, I climb up stairs and walked into my motherâs room.. it was a little Dusty now⊠I went to her wardrobe and brought out every thing, I brought out a box and started placing everything In it.. half way through, I sight a small red jewelry box.. I opened it and gasped.. it was a gold necklace with my name written boldly on the pendant.. I placed it separately and continued with the packingâŠ
After few minutes, I was done, I went to aunt Noraâs room and did the same.. I have to leave this place.. I kept all the money I found in an envelope and went to my room.. I parked my clothes and everyother thing I might need.. with everything intact.. I bade farewell to my old home.. I took a taxi to the airport.. I bought a ticket and quietly sat down .. soon our flight was announced..
#Sydney..
I feel so tired and hungry..I just need a cool bath and nothing more.. were can I get good food at this time of the night.. I saw a sign post.âtasty Tomâsâ.. I drove into the street, it was a little quiet though..
I parked my car and walked in.. I entered into the restaurant, it wasnât that classic, but it was manageable.. the Waiter came to my table and I gave him my order.. he brought them in a bag, and I walked out after paying⊠I opened my car and dropped them on the other sit.. that was when I started hearing voices..I turned to the direction of the voice and saw two men harassing a lady..
I couldnât see their faces well though, but I could tell she needed help.. I slowly walked up to the them and shouted..âbaby.. I thought I asked you to wait for me?â The men turned look at me, I got closer to her and placed my hands on her wa-ist.. she looked so scared, she tried moving my hand but I tightened my grip, oh please donât make this hĂŠrd for me.. I said to my self.. âdo you guys have a problem with my girlfriend?â I asked.. âuhm.. no, we were just about to leaveâthe taller one replied and they left.. âthanksâ she said.. âwhat are you doing out here alone, with bags? This is a dangerous areaâ I said.. âwell, they stole my money, and I donât have a place to stayâ she replied.. âokay, good luckâ I said and walked back to my car.. she ran after me..âplease help me, you canât just leave me here, pleaseâ she said crying.. âyes .. I canâ I replied and started my car.. and drove off.. I was already a mile away.. and something keeps telling me to go back.. uhh fine.. I said to myself.. I turned back and drove to the sâ±0t I left her, she was sitting on the floor crying.. she stood up when she saw me.. âget inâ I said.. she dropped her bags in the back seat and sat down in the front.. âthank youâ she said.. âyou are welcome.. so whatâs your name?â I asked.. âAmelia.. Amelia woodsâ she repliedâŠ
